Nobody said it would be easy having a career in the arts.
In fact, just about everyone I knew warned me that I’d end up a "starving artist”. Despite the warnings, I approached this challenge the way I approach all other challenges in my life; full throttle and with relentless optimism. Creativity is the cornerstone of my life and I knew whatever I did professionally needed to be centered around that creative passion.
This creative pursuit has been a bumpy road, full of twits and turns. Countless company layoffs, massive market demand shifts, and the continual need to reinvent my service offering to stay relevant in our ever changing economy. As it turns out, my friends and family were right. This path hasn’t been easy. But I didn’t want an easy life, I wanted a beautiful one. Using my skills, creative thinking, and unique perspective to help my clients realize their dreams has been the career thrill of a lifetime.
